THE SALINITY INTRUSION AND SOIL SALINITY IN THE COASTAL AREA OF THE RED RIVER DELTA—NORTHERN VIETNAM

抄録

This study has been carried out in Namdinh province, belongs to a wave dominant part of the Red River Delta. There are sand dunes and sand ridge that are parallel and running down forward to the south. The soil salinity of root zone has been measured and it can manifest the relationship between altitude and salinity. The changing of water salinity can show out the difference of salinity intrusion in three river mouths. The further research should be done to simulate the effects of the sea level rise on this coastal region.
